[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1460150, member: 74902"] Abolt, here's some torque recommendations from one of the smiths who contributes a lot of good info on the forum: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/torque-recomendations.29756/[/URL] Personally I think that the fact it is a wood stock on the RUM says a lot. Even though the wood stock may have pillars installed, I feel the recoil lug should be bedded on heavy recoiling rifles with wood stocks. The recoil lug is the main component that distributes the recoil into the stock and if it is no solid (and I mean solid) up against the stock it can allow the action to torques and move in the stock. It can definitely open a 1" group up to 1.5". I think you should bed the action and recoil lug and make sure the stock has pillars for the action screw. I just recently bedded a wood stocked Savage in 6.5 Creedmoor. I torqued the action screws down to 65 inch pounds. The rifle will now shoot 1/4 MOA groups at 200 yards when I am on my game. It was about a 3/4 MOA rifle before I bedded it and had the action screws at 40 inch pounds. [/QUOTE]
